Hypertrophy may occur as the result of normal physiologic or abnormal pathologic conditions. The increase in muscle mass associa

ted with exercise is an example of physiologic hypertrophy. Pathologic hypertrophy occurs as the result of disease conditions and may be adaptive or compensatory. Examples of adaptive hypertrophy are the thickening of the urinary bladder from long-continued obstruction of urinary outflow and the myocardial hypertrophy that results from valvular heart disease or hypertension. What is compensatory hypertrophy?

Answer:

Compensatory hypertrophy is an increase in size of an organ or tissue after the organs and tissues are either damaged, removed, or cease to function.

Explanation:

Hypertrophy is the term used to describe an increase in cell size. If the enough number of cells in some organ hypertrophy, the whole organ will also  hypertrophy.

Compensatory hypertrophy is an increase in size of an organ or tissue after the organs and tissues are either damaged, removed, or cease to function. It can take place in a number of human organs and tissues such as the liver, the kidneys, the heart, the spleen, the lungs, the pancreas etc.

I have no clue how to answer this

I believe this question is trying to get you to realize the difference between acquired traits(one you get through doing something during life) and heritable traits(ones from Mom/Dad). For example, I really wish I was 6 foot 4... but the height trait comes genetically from your parents since it is coded in my DNA how tall I will be, therefore this trait must be passed down genetically and somewhere down the evolutionary tree the humans in the region which my family comes from was better off being short. An example that comes from acquired traits could be muscularity... my parents are both not very muscular but throughout my lifetime I enjoy working out and have become much more muscular, no matter how much your parents or grandparents lift weights YOU won't change so that change must be acquired through aging during your lifetime. Now the amount of muscle your body can put on is a heritable thing but that is beside the point. Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Glaciers bring quantities of minerals beneficial to plants as the water runs off melting ice.

Explanation:

Glaciers are natural reservoirs of water and minerals that may persist to dry conditions during the summer season. Ice melting provides water and minerals during the warm season, which is therefore critical for plants living in dry summer environments. Moreover, it is well-known that the 'melt-water' (i.e., water released by the melting of glacial ice) also affects downstream stream water temperatures, creating a microhabitat that may be beneficial to the life of plant species.

slava [35]

Answer:

Repressor protein

Explanation:

Repressor is a protein that binds to deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) or ribonucleic acid(RNA) it inhibits the expression of one or more genes which is done by binding to the associated silencers.

A DNA binding repressor works by blocking the attachment of RNA polymerase an enzyme that enhance transcription to the promoter, thus preventing genes from been transcribed into messenger RNA.

An RNA binding repressor binds to the messenger RNA and prevents translation of the bases on the messenger RNA into protein. The blocking of expression is called repression.
